09:25:58 AM solaas says:
you might even like the protagonist of the book I'm reading now.
09:26:03 AM solaas says:
She's an archaeologist!
09:26:05 AM giving_ground says:
oh?
09:26:13 AM solaas says:
Xenoarchaeologist, in fact.
09:27:10 AM solaas says:
Thing is, the author is the son of an archeobotanist and a .....
counter-of-year-rings-in-really-old-trees, so he pretty much grew
up on digs. What archaeologybabble there is, I'm fairly sure isn't
wildly inaccurate.
09:27:26 AM giving_ground says:
dendrochronologist? XD yeah.
09:27:30 AM solaas says:
YES
09:27:54 AM giving_ground says:
what books are these?
09:28:17 AM solaas says:
Wasteland of flint, and, House of reeds. [by Thomas Harlan]
...
09:38:03 AM solaas says:
Apparently, his dad is world famous in his field.
09:38:13 AM solaas says:
Which means that no SANE people have heard of him.
09:38:16 AM solaas says:
:P
09:38:43 AM giving_ground says:
*laughs*
09:38:55 AM solaas says:
Cos he will have written stuff like: LaMarche, Jr., V.C., and T.P.
Harlan (1973). Accuracy of tree-ring dating of bristlecone pine for
calibration of the radiocarbon time scale. Journal of Geophysical
Research 78, 8849 - 8857.

09:45:02 AM solaas says:
.....
09:45:13 AM solaas says:
I can't seem to stop googlestalking.
09:45:28 AM solaas says:
I wonder if his gradfather was one of these creatures, too.
09:45:49 AM solaas says:
I'm looking in the national university/college library database,
and....
09:46:04 AM solaas says:
Algae and algal limestone from the Oligocene of South Park,
Colorado Johnson, J. Harlan
1937
09:46:21 AM solaas says:
Same part of the world, same name, pre WW2....
09:48:26 AM giving_ground says:
XDDDD
09:48:32 AM giving_ground says:
oh god, it's a dynasty
09:49:07 AM solaas says:
This Harlan Johnson guys seems to be really realy into algae.
09:49:21 AM solaas says:
Mabe it's just one person, but he's actually a VAMPIRE?
09:49:34 AM giving_ground says:
:O
09:49:35 AM solaas says:
One of the mormon ones, who can be out in sunlight? Good for digs,
that.
09:49:43 AM giving_ground says:

8D
09:50:01 AM solaas says:
Utah is just up the road!
09:50:15 AM solaas says:
Plenty of mormons there~
09:50:22 AM giving_ground says:
*afraid*
09:50:53 AM giving_ground says:
"When you can live forever, what do you live for?" ...err, mostly
algae, as it turns out.
09:51:05 AM solaas says:
XDDDDDDDDD
09:51:21 AM solaas says:
I suspect vampires would be frightening nerds.
09:51:49 AM giving_ground says:
yeah, really. I mean when you have that much time on your hands...
09:52:08 AM giving_ground says:
you can only spend so much of it seducing people with your magic
sparkles.
09:52:15 AM solaas says:
Exactly! :D
09:54:47 AM giving_ground says:
oh god. the internet needs to know. we have uncovered an even
deeper darker level to archaeology than we were previously aware
of.
09:55:15 AM solaas says:
YEAH
09:55:17 AM giving_ground says:
HOW MANY MORE OF THEM ARE THERE OUT THERE
09:55:35 AM solaas says:
YOU SHOULD KNOW, YOU WORKED THAT FIELD!!!! :O
09:55:55 AM solaas says:
I mean, you had a mummy on your university board or something,
right?
09:55:55 AM solaas says:
>_>
09:56:07 AM giving_ground says:
I always had my suspicions about Tim Schadla Hall. >_>
09:56:20 AM giving_ground says:
...yes. >_>
09:56:35 AM solaas says:
I'd say archaeology and its related fields are probably prime
stalking grounds for the undead. ><
giving_ground says:
;;;
solaas says:
They probably already know how to read Linear A. They just ain't
telling.
